THE wEEKLY GAZETTE: FORT WORTH TEXAS FRIDAY

Pecos river, there are no less than dozen
Ground Mountains" "Pilot Peaks"
"Comanche Peaks" "Hog and
Packsaddle Mountains" etc. in
Central Texas, none of which in any
way are entitled to the dignity Of the
terms, and which can only be described
as buttes and mesas of secondary proper
tions. The creeks and rivers are. either
"Hog" creeks, "Muddy," "Snake,"
"Buffalo," "Dry," "Indian," or "Post
Oaks"
Not only have these ,corruptions been
going on in the past, but they are being
perpetrated at present, and our govern
ment publications are innocently the
chief instruments in so doing. A remark
able instance came under my observe
ton two years ago. While sitting upon
the stone that marks the northwest corner
of the state of Kansas, examining some
geological specimens, and conversing
with Texan cowboy friends who had
'twintered" near there year or two, l
| inquired the nearest postoff1ce. One
of them informed me that tent village
had just been established a few miles dis
tant, and that its name was "Bueno
This word, from my past experience on
the Texan frontier, knew to constitute
nine tenths OF the cowboys knowledge
of pigeon Spanish (the other tenth being
"cuss" Words), anu that it had been i'm
ported from the Rio Grsnde by him into
| Kansas, and that the "short-horns" (the
cowboys term of inferiority for the
Kansas settler had been fascinated by it,
and applied 1t to their new town.

THE INDICTMENTS.

According 10 report The grand jury has
found indictmea's against several alder
men of the oisc, the very names of some
of whom are susran,et that the indict-
ments will serve only SIS q foil to other
indictments and prCb ably result in sll OF
them being quashed. The counts in
these indictments cannot be knowD, but
it is not & violen. sup2osition to believe
that, IL majority Of the cases, the in
dictments are founded on technical Vio-
lation Of Low, in sales to the city OF goods
or material. The popular miro
will readily appreciate the vice
difference between that city official
vino is q member of q firm that sells
goods to the city without connivence Of
the oRcial, aud that other city official
who is s party to a contract with the
CITY. It will require evidence stronger
than grand jury Indictment TO convince
THE GAZETTE, in any case where goods
and material were sold to the city
by firm Of which 6ny one oil
the aldermen is member, that such
alderman used mis- Office to secure the
city's patronage. Such violation of law is
technical and not deliberate, as would be
contract with the city by an official OF
the city.
It is to be hoped that these indictments
will oil be subjected to open trial, and
not all be quashed, es some men may
have planned. Let the technical and the
deliberate violations be separated; let
those who violated law unintentionally be
set apart from those who regarded no:
the laws Inhibition.
This shameful result has its underlying
cause in the effort to give this city pc,
Iitical rather than a business manage
ment of it's affairs. From this arose the
wrangllng, the putting OF incompetent
men in the W&terworks service, and the
resentments that now find uttersnce IN
megnifying technical offanses into In
dictments. The hurt to Fort worth Is
not in the indictments; and the good to
Fort Worth will be in the awakening OF
the people to the necessity OF electing a
CITY government which will not essay 8
political control Of the city's affairs, and
thus compel conservative aldermen to
enter into wrangles to save the city from
such ring control, and, hereafter, the
law will be respected even By those who
may be TOO ready to treat it as dead
letter when opposed to their interests.

WHITE GIRLS SOLD TO INDIANS.
4 Terrib Act of Dissipatod Father fl
Vancouver Island.

OTTAWA, ONT, Nov. while Vic
torla schooner Was lying st the wharf az
Barclay Sound, on the west coast OF Van
couver Island, recently, the captain and
crew were surprised to see white girls
running toward the vessel, closely pur-
sued by three or four Indians. Reaching
the side of the vessel the girls spIsng On
board almost exhausted and begged
the captain to protect them from
their pursuers. The I0dians were close
upon them, and demanded the girls as
their property, b 1T the captain refused to
give the girls up After parleying with
the captain for short time they left, only
to return largely re enforced. The cap
tain then surrendered the girls for fear OF
his life. They are daughters of William
Thompson, formerly OF Victoria, who,
with his wife spd four daughters, moved
to San Juan. After moving to this place
the father became dissipated and all he
earned went for the purchase OF liquor.
He sold his eldest daughter to a wealthy
Chinaman, to whom 1t is said, she was
married at the point Of the revolver. In
one of his revelries at the Indian camp 1t
is alleged he sgreed to barter two OF his
daughters for whisky. The following
night the girls were easily carried sway
by q lew of the tribe. Since their cap
tivity the girls have been subject to the
most brutal treatment. a younger sis
ter, only eight years old, was sold to an
other tribe of Indians.

THE HON. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN.
He Comes to the States to Settle the Fish
cries Question.

NEW YORK, Nov. THE steamship
Etruria arrived to-day from Liverpool.
Among the passengers was Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain. The revenue cutter Man
haitian took the illustrious visitor from
the steamer and landed him at the barge
office, where he was received by William
Lane Booker, British Consul General,
and Hon. Willism Smith, Deputy Minis
ter of Marine of Canals.
"What about the mission upon which
you have conc over?" was asked.
"Weu, of course IS 8 diplomat
list, [ cannot state anything def
mite as to what course Of
action am going to take up in my efforts
to make an amlCsble settlement of the
fisheries. It depends very much upon cir
CumStanCes. | cannot see why the slight
difficulty that does exist cannot be settled
quickly. Two countries, situated as En-
gland and America, even though on the
most friendly terms with each ether,
must have occasional clashes of con-
ftcting interest. How could it be other
wise? Well, this is just such an occas
Ion, the pure outcome OF
circumstances which must be modified to
prevent similar clashes in the future"
Chow long do you expect to remain
here?"
"Oa, intend to stay here some time.
l will rsmain in New York few days
and later, should there come an sdiourn-
ment in the work of the commission, l
intend to spend couple of months
studying the institutions Of your coun-
try. intend to do that any way, whether
before or after have completed my Off
cial business"
Mr.. Chamberlain was asked his opin-
ion on the Irish question, but he asked to
be excused and continuing said: 81 am
here as a diplomatist to say nothing about
my opinion on home politics during the
continuance of my mission here. If any
interviews with me On that subject are
published, they will be unauthorized as
expect to express no opinion relative toit
during my stay here"

Southern industrial progress is no
longer theory; it is an accomplished
fact. The development of wealth in tie
southern states has not only startled the
north, but has made every civilized nation
OF the world take pause to note the
boundIess sources of riches developed By
the, energy Of the new south. Before the
var the south initiated the sluggish ad-
yancement of the Old World. II had cot
ton, aud cotton was king, and its countless
millions of coal. iron, lumber, and I'M
cultivated fertile lands we're left to SUM
Der because unneeded; but new nece5sl-
ties called into ection sll the energy, skill
and courage required to develop the
south, end we must now confess In the
north that the south, rather than Europe,
is soon to be our most dangerous CON-
petitor in the production of the minerals
and fabrics which have given the north
its vast prependerance OF wealth.

expert tobacco men and habitusl smokers
have been deceived. At a recent gather
